Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 May 14, 2002 Mr. Jerry Davich, Staff Writer, 'The TIMES', 3410 Delta Drive, Portage, Indiana 46368 Health Editor, 'Post Tribune', 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Merrillville, Indiana 46410-6307 , 'Chicago Sun-Times', 401 N. Wabash Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60611 Attention Mr. Jerry Davich, I hope you can do something with this (see attached 4 pages). If 'The TIMES' is no longer interested in doing a follow-up on my story, I hope that someone in the Media will pick it up. The health of our citizens is at stake, and, in my opinion, the health officials in Washington, D.C., don't give a damn. These officials have been very unresponsive to me, and when they did respond, they have been wrong. For example, beginning in January, 1993, I began to alert the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that I thought that the chemical, acetaldehyde, would be an effective anti-HIV agent; HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. From 1/26/93 to 11/9/94, five of the top officials at the NIH wrote to me and Rep. Visclosky stating: " Acetaldehyde is a normal metabolite of the human body that would not significantly hinder HIV infection. " However, I kept writing to the NIH, and it finally decided to re-evaluate acetaldehyde. In an August 9, 1995 letter to Representative J. Visclosky, the NIH stated: " ....The fact that acetaldehyde inactivates the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in test tube experiments does not necessarily make it a good candidate for anti-HIV therapy in humans. There are many agents known to be active against HIV. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute have identified over 3,000 compounds that are active against HIV, and the NIH currently is developing and evaluating the most promising ones. The high toxicity of acetaldehyde makes it a significantly less desirable candidate for use in individuals who suffer from severely weakened immune systems and who are prone to contracting numerous opportunistic infections and malignancies.... " S. - The 'cough inhibitor' L-MTCA (L-2-Methylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid) is composed of acetaldehyde (1/2) and L-cysteine (1/2). Last year I discovered the means by which I think this cough inhibitor could inactivate HIV - safely. And I alerted health officials - no response yet. I hope that Dr. Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) will conduct a clinical trial to determine if I am right or wrong about a possible cure for AIDS. I hope that Dr. Kirschstein of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will conduct a clinical trial to determine if I am right or wrong about a possible cure for Leukemia. I hope that Dr. von Eschenbach of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) will conduct a clinical trial to determine if I am right or wrong about a possible cure for Cancer. Again, Jerry, I hope that you, or some member of the Media will do a follow-up on this story. In my opinion, the health of our Nation is at stake. Sincerely, S. , 5086 Sunrise Ave., Portage, Indiana 46368, (219) 763-1933 Copies to all those listed in the attached four pages. Page 1 May 13, 2002 Is Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TAC, Thioproline) anti-cancerous? The U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) should do further research. Copies to President W. Bush, Former President Bush, King and Queen Sofia of Spain, Rep. Visclosky, Rep. Kucinich, Dr. Gosalvez, Dr. Schally, President Cowen of Tulane, Secretary , Surgeon General, Mr. Dobbs (FDA), Dr. Kirschstein (NIH), Dr. von Eschenbach (NCI), Dr. Klausner (NCI), Dr. Rabson (NCI), Ms. Foellmer (NCI), Dr. Fauci (NIAID), Director (CDC), General , Dr. Varmus, Dr. Vogelzang, Dr. Prendergast, American Medical Association (A.M.A.), American Cancer Society (ACS), Lake/Porter County Medical Society, Cancercure Foundation, Gilda's Club & Mr. Jerry Davich. The following passages are from a March 11, 2002 article ('Cancer cure cover-up?') written by Mr. Jerry Davich, 'The TIMES' (Northwest Indiana): " , 65, believes that Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, or TAC, an acid related to penicillin and a mushroom derivative, has been used successfully in clinical trials at U.S. military hospitals. And documented studies have proven its effectiveness as a tumor-reducing agent, he said. " " A spokesman for Visclosky said this sort of thing is something that gets passed along to proper authorities, like the National Institute of Health. " " NIH spokesman Dennis Rodrigues said that is unfamiliar with the process that supports or initiates research. He suggested that first needs to affiliate himself with a medical school or university. " " Other agency officials echoed the same response. " S. - The National Cancer Institute (NCI) division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has already rendered its judgement about TAC; see the following statements of Ms. Dorothy A. Foellmer. It would be useless and a dead-end for me to try to pursue, further, this matter through normal channels. This matter should be handled by the top officials of our governmental health agencies - the Directors of the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute. Representative J. Visclosky and Ms. Dorothy A. Foellmer of the NCI did not have the courtesy to afford me a copy of the letters in which the following passages appear. If it had not been for the fact that a Schererville, Indiana citizen mailed to me a copy of the letters, I would have never known of their existence! This passage appears in a May 16, 2001 letter sent by Rep. Visclosky to the Schererville citizen: " Several years ago my office contacted the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to inquire about S. ' cancer cure proposal. The response we received from the National Cancer Institute indicated that Mr. ' cure would have negative effects on patients, and was not a safe cure for any cancer. To ensure that there has not been any change in the status of Mr. ' proposal, I have taken the liberty of forwarding your correspondence to me to Tommy , the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Enclosed please find a copy of my letter to Secretary , asking that he address your concerns. " On behalf of Secretary , Ms. Foellmer (Director, Office of Legislation and Congressional Activities - NCI) wrote a June 28, 2001 letter to that same Schererville citizen; this passage appears: " In your letter to Mr. Visclosky, you expressed an interest in the work of Mr. S. . Page 2 Mr. has made claims on the internet that a compound, Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TAC), can cure cancer. Since 1955, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has actively evaluated materials that might be useful in the discovery of new agents for cancer treatment through the Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP). Extensive testing of TAC was conducted in 1979 by DTP. No anti-tumor activity was found and the testing was stopped. As part of the drug discovery process, DTP receives agents from many sources, including universities, research institutes, government agencies, biotechnology companies, and pharmaceutical houses. The testing done on TAC was initiated because of reports from a human trial that was done in Spain. The compound was tested on numerous animal tumor models, but failed to show any anti-tumor activity. " Apparently, Ms. Foellmer was unaware of the cancer research of two of the world's foremost doctors - Dr. V. Schally, a 1977 Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, and Dr. Gosalvez, who was for 30 years the Director of Biochemical Research for the Kingdom of Spain. TAC is an integral component in the cancer research of Dr. Schally and Dr. Gosalvez. From 1994 to 2000, Dr. Schally published 13 reports in which he said that compounds containing TAC might be effective in causing the " inhibition of growth " of these Cancers - Pancreatic, Prostate, Renal (Kidney), Breast, Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC), Glioblastoma (Brain tumor) and Ovary. Dr. Schally's final refinement, compound RC-3940-II, was patented by Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana. These passages are found in a July 20, 2001 letter to S. from Dr. Gosalvez: " In 1981, we found unfortunately that Thiazolidine Carboxylic Acid - alone - can not cure cancer because it only reverses to normality the benign and less malign cancer cells. The malignant cancer cells are not reversible to normality by Thioproline. In 1989 we finished the development of the technique of 'Cancer Reversal by Dual Strategy', the combination of Thiazolidine Carboxylic Acid with Quelamycin, our transient ferric complex of the cytotoxic agent Adriamycin. Quelamycin kills specifically the malignant cancer cells that are not reverted to normality by Thioproline. " " Due to the general lack of interest in our technique for Reversal of Cancer by Dual Strategy we reached, in 1989, - through very important indirect ways - (j.s.r. - King and Queen Sofia of Spain and former President Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush) - the top military authorities of the United States of America with the request of a pilot clinical trial by the Military Hospitals of United States of the combination of Thioproline and Quelamycin in terminal cancer patients. I am firmly convinced that this trial was conducted successfully and that then the American military implemented a massive study of the technique of Cancer Reversal by Dual Strategy that endured the last ten years. I think that their results will be soon communicated to the American people and to the World by the top American leader.... " Thus, the question remains - Is TAC an effective anti-cancer agent? Dr. Schally and Dr. Gosalvez think it is; however, Ms. Foellmer thinks it is not. Sincerely, S. , 5086 Sunrise Ave., Portage, Indiana 46368, (219) 763-1933 Attached - My latest bulletin - Cancer, AIDS, Anthrax, Leukemia & Alcoholism - Americans don't know all the facts. and Jerry Davich's article, 'Cancer cure cover-up?', and 13 questions. Page 3 Citizens - Tell your Congressmen: Question Doctors & the General. (N.W. Indiana residents call Rep. J. Visclosky, 219-884-1177.) Cancer, AIDS, Anthrax, Leukemia & Alcoholism - Americans don't know all the facts. The Nation's Top Doctors and a U.S. Army General should be asked at least 13 questions. Here is one - Why are Americans denied the world's No.1 cancer medicine? It causes a wide and excellent range of antitumor activity according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI), and yearly sales exceed $600,000,000. Again - Americans can't buy it! The answers from these Top Doctors and this General might reveal important health information that could save the lives of many Americans!

Page 4 Complete text of 'Cancer cure cover-up?' by Jerry Davich, 'The TIMES', March 11, 2002: is convinced that the country's medical establishment is stonewalling his efforts to alert cancer victims of a known cure for the killer disease. The U.S. Army veteran and retired research librarian says medical officials have turned a deaf ear to his repeated attempts to unleash a possible remedy for not only cancer, but also similar help treatments for AIDS, anthrax, leukemia, alcoholism, Lou Gehrig's Disease and macular degeneration. " People's lives are at stake here. If your loved one was dying, wouldn't you be interested in a possible cure? " emphatically asked from the living room of his Portage home. , 65, believes that Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, or TAC, an acid related to penicillin and a mushroom derivative, has been used successfully in clinical trials at U.S. military hospitals. And documented studies have proven its effectiveness as a tumor-reducing agent, he said. But cancer treatment officials have been mum on its mainstream potential. For the past few years, has been a one-man, letter-writing campaign to get his research findings on the medical map. He's spent hundreds of dollars on postage, copies and research paper fees. His home is stacked with copies of mailed out forms, studies and on-line findings. Since 1997, he's mailed letters to U.S. Congressman Pete Visclosky, the Porter and Lake County Medical Societies, the American Cancer Society, the National Institute of Health and several other medical agencies. What have they told him? " Nothing. They never get back to me, " said. " I'm a taxpayer, but they don't care. " The multi-billion dollar cancer research and treatment industry is purposely ignoring ' findings in order to keep the status quo a profitable endeavor, claims. A recent discovery led him to believe that the on-line version of the U.S. Medical Library is " corrupt " because certain studies have been omitted. " If people here joined together, we could convince officials to look into these issues, " he said. On ' behalf, I made inquiries to a few agencies, but I didn't get very far. A spokesman for Visclosky said this sort of thing is something that gets passed along to proper authorities, like the National Institute of Health. NIH spokesman Dennis Rodrigues said that is unfamiliar with the process that supports or initiates research. He suggested that first needs to affiliate himself with a medical school or university. Other agency officials echoed the same response. So, is a victim or a stooge? A crusader for truth or an obsessed tax-payer? You decide.

Dr. Varmus and Dr. Schally are Nobel Prize winners in medicine. 1. Dr. Kirschstein (NIH); Dr. Varmus, Sloan-Kettering; Dr. Prendergast, Mayo Clinic; Dr. Vogelzang, Univ. of Chicago - In a 1979 Spanish clinical trial, TAC caused the " ....disappearance of evidence of cancer. " What difficulties do you foresee in repeating this trial with 'mega-doses' of TAC & vitamin C and certain mushroom extracts? 2. President Cowen and Dr. Schally of Tulane - Dr. Schally invented and Tulane patented RC-3940-II which contains TAC. RC-3940-II is expected to cause the " inhibition of growth " of pancreatic, prostate, kidney, breast, lung, brain and ovary cancer. When will Tulane sell RC-3940-II? 3. General - When will Americans be told about TAC & Quelamycin which have been administered to cancer patients in U.S. Military Hospitals since 1990? 4. Dr. von Eschenbach (NCI) and Ms. Foellmer (NCI) - What is the NCI's current evaluation of TAC? 5. Dr. von Eschenbach and Director of the FDA - Why are Americans denied the No.1 cancer medicine PSK/Krestin & PSP? Worldwide sales top $600 million. 6. Dr. Kirschstein, Dr. von Eschenbach and Director, FDA - Why aren't Americans being told about Lentinan? Japanese research indicates that it is anti-cancerous. 7. Dr. Fauci (NIAID) - Why aren't AIDS patients being provided with L-MTCA? It contains a chemical that can " inactivate " HIV. 8. General and Director of the CDC - Could L-MTCA be used against anthrax? 9. Dr. Kirschstein - Would the combination of d-penicillamine & copper and vitamin C be a good leukemia treatment? 10. Surgeon General - Shouldn't all drinkers be told about zinc and vitamins B-6 and C? 11. Dr. Klausner (NCI) - Did the 1996 publication of the NCI about the decrease of the cancer death rate in the U.S.A. take into account the Military treatment (TAC & Quelamycin)? 12. Dr. Rabson (NCI) - Did you respond to the 2/13/2000 letter of Dr. Gosalvez (former Director of Spanish biochemical research)? 13. Dr. Kirschstein, Dr. von Eschenbach, Editors of MEDLINE - Why is there no citation under a 'CANCER' subject heading for significant research reported in 1989 by the NCI relative to the anti-cancer power of PSK/Krestin & PSP? ABBREVIATIONS: NIH (National Institutes of Health), NCI (National Cancer Institute), CDC (Centers for Disease Control) NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease), MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine). TAC (Thiazolidine-4-carboxyic acid) and Lentinan are extracts from the Shiitake mushroom. PSK/Krestin (Polysaccharide Krestin) and PSP (Polysaccharopeptide) are extracts from the Coriolus versicolor mushroom. L-MTCA is L-2-Methylthiazolidine- 4-carboxylic acid. L-MTCA & TAC are related to Penicillin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
